Satellite Maps

When I’m going somewhere for the first time, I’ll search online to get the directions. And since satellite imagery became available, it’s nice to be able to get a bird’s eye view of where you are going as well. Of course, Google has Street View in some areas, but more than likely, it’s not available for your city yet. So, in the meantime, I found the "Bird’s Eye View" feature at maps.live.com pretty useful. Here are some screenshots of my search for "downtown Tampa". Can you tell which one I found more useful? Click on the images to see them larger. The building on the right in image #1 is the building in the center of image #2.
